    Philippine Culture - why?

    发表  Arch Ien Tayamora 在 菲律宾论坛 

    Hello Robert. I read your comments about the Filipino culture and i must say that to some extent i do agree to your observations. To answer you question to why it is so perplexing to think that Filipinos live 50-60 years backward: Filipinos are typically (but not all) not innovative people compared to the Germans and Americans. Most are contented with what they have and will not strive to think of achieving something better (especially those that are living in the low end country side and slums). Some would go to the Faith Healer rather than go to the Medical Doctor to seek help. Some would choose to believe old wives tales of explaining stuff rather than examine it through science. Filipinos adhere so much to tradition and roman religion with unquestioning faith. "Sabi kasi nila" (because they said so...) is the way to explain things here in the Philippines. Filipinos are generally resistant to change, i mean real change that's why the Cebuanos that you observed in Cebu would rather sit their asses off.
